The original story of the Firebird has been orally transmitted across centuries and cultures. This folk tale requires a multi-layered, transdisciplinary approach to fully appreciate its artistic context. The mystical bird of a thousand voices serves as a beautiful metaphor for our times: a world seeking connection and harmony, yet confronted with ecological, psychological, and spiritual crises.
